Do you need a return ticket to enter Thailand if planning to stay for a few months?

What’s a 24h valid ticket and how do you get that

Sent you a PM.

Why not purchase a 24hrs valid ticket? It's only a few dollars. Sent you a PM

I totally understand an onward ticket can be a pain, specially when one doesn't intend to use it, so prior to my travel I read an article in World Nomads that recommended successfully using BestOnwardTickets.com. I've travelled to Thailand endless times in the past 10 years and was never asked for an Onward Ticket before, but this last time in Dec 2021, the over zealous agent on the last leg of my 3 stop journey did ask and also did check on the computer to make sure and happy to report, the booking was there, thus No issue. Good to note, with a simple email request you can get your Onward Booking extended to 21 days. Hope this helps and safe travels!

Buy a cheap ticket out of Thailand.

the only hurdle is the airline check-in staff, just blag it by saying you are crossing the border by bus in 30 days & sound like you know what your doing

I flight to Thailand I booked a dummie flight to Singapore and they never asked for it :(

Buy open Ticket n Begpack

I’ve traveled five of the last six years always on a one-way ticket and never once have I ever been asked

now that doesn’t mean that you won’t be asked but it hasn’t happened to me

and if they tell me I need a return ticket I’ll tell them the truth I plan my vacations on the fly, I don’t know what country I want to go to next, Japan Vietnam Singapore Indonesia etc.

Get cheapest exit flight. Doesnt hv to ne return. Or get 60 dayTV and extend by 30 at immi. That was all before covid tho....

I arrived on a one way ticket too but I understand that you might be nervous of being asked about your plans after the expiration of your visas. What you could do is book a cheap ticket to a neighbouring country like Laos or Malaysia and cancel it after you arrive. That’s what I did, flight to Kuala Lumpur from bkk I think was about €60, I cancelled it the day after I arrived in bkk.

You can buy a flight out to Singapore for peanuts,they don’t care where you fly out to,problem solved.

It always depend on the airlines and the immigration officer. Sometimes they ask, sometimes they don’t. Just book a return ticket and cancel it later if you don’t need it. It’s easier than having trouble at the airport.

Flown to Thailand 20+ times....only once asked for onward ticket and that was at check-in in Danang for vietjet airlines

Had to buy a ticket to the Philippines or any other country on the spot

It's the Airlines who generally ask about an onward flight at check-in.

Fake ticket online …

Actually those have been the rules for many years but were mostly ignored by immigration untill covid.

We came in visa exempt 30 days and were asked to show onward ticket (within 30 days if arrival)when checking in for flight with Singapore airlines. Your flight out does not have to be your home country. Also note on arrival they can ask to show you have equivalent of 20,000 baht in $$ per person.

Added your post to topic.

There is plenty of discussion about this including links for buying dummy tickets and cheap onward tickets

If you're entering on a longstay visa you don't need an onward flight. It's only tourism visas/exempt which require this

@Elle ********

you just have to book an outbound flight that you can cancel

Some airlines allow you to change dates for free. It is the only nice thing Covid gave us...
